Very nice Andy. Did you not use extension tubes with this?

Hi Graeme,
No extension tubes just the 300mm , it is a pretty large crop though.

Kind regards

Plenty of detail, and a really good background. Well worth getting wet for.

A nice simple uncluttered composition with the darker background highlighting that beautiful electric blue colour very well.

As Justi pointed out the colour is very eyecatching. Perfect result all around.

Cheers,
Marko
